Hope this will help you a little bit.

1) お (or sometimes ご)+ noun

well, it doesn't mean that we can put this "o" (or "go") before every nouns.
When I want to sound politer, or when I want to show my respect
usually to the customers or someone older than me, I use this.

お+かね(money)
お+うち(house/home)
お+なまえ(name:as you know)
eg.おなまえを　かいてください。 Write your name, please?

Of course you can say
なまえを　かいてください。

but with お　sounds politer.

However, when I talk about (or the subject was) MY NAME,
then I wouldn't use this お.
If I say
わたしの　おなまえは　まゆみ　です。
It sounds like I am trying to be polite to myself.



2) I guess it's maybe the same with English, when we actually "talk",
we wouldn't talk like we are "reading a text book" right? so there are
a few words are missing sometimes. Of should I say some words are hidden.

(sore)dewa, mata ashita (oaishimasyou)
（それ）では、また　あした　（おあいしましょう）



I don't want to make you think "Japanese is too difficult" but
I have to tell you that
sometimes, we have to guess "the ending" of the sentense or "the hidden words"

Just like you do "read between the lines"

When I talk with Japanese person, I have to read between the words as well as the lines!


では　また　has many words hidden.

それでは　また　（おあいしましょう）

When I know that I will meet that person tomorrow, I would say
では　また　あした
では　あした
また　あした


In English,
"See you" = (I will) see you right?



それでは= では　 I use this sometimes when I want to change the subject.


それでは　もうおそいので　かえります。
Well... because it's pretty late. Im gonna go home.

or when I want to go next.

それでは　つぎのもんだいにいきいましょう。
Ok then. Let's move to the next question.


I don't know what book you are using, but
I would recommend you to learn the basic grammar before you learn
"spoken expressions",
because "spoken language" has too many "exceptionals" so you might get confused.


For example,

I learned "How are you?" first and tried not to wonder
what's the difference between
How is it going?
How are you doing?
How are things?

or something like

"Long time no see"

I still don't understand this properly...
I know the meaning and I know how to use it, but
the grammartically.... ???

(It has been a) long time (for us ) no(t) (to) see (each other)"???
